    Going down the road secondary air tank drops to 60 or below.
    Have to pull over and high idle.
    Eventually governor will kick on and fill tank.
    Have already replaced the governor.
    What could be causing this??

    Carbon build up in hose from compressor to air tanks.

    Have you checked for air leaks? There are also one way check valves in there that might be bad

    It's not my truck I posted that for a friend. The hope was other drivers or mechanics would say. Oh ya that happened to me and it was... Or ya Volvo is aware of problem and has a bulletin out on that.

    I should really stay out of this, but at my kitchen table, THIS is entertainment to me. What the hell is a Globetrotter? (fanfare please) No, not "Bubblegum Tate", it's the miraculous Volvo VNL 860 XL, Volvos FLAGSHIP model, and still a POS. IT'S A FREAKIN' YEAR OLD,,,:biggrin_25513:, again, it's unacceptable to me, to spend $115 grand on something you can't use. What is wrong here? :dontknow: How can you people make a living at the side of the road waiting on air pressure, in a new truck, I might add, or waiting on some stupid sensor on backorder? You people are living a giant freak show, and guys like me are just wondering how the industry got to this point?:scratch:
